Loading New Cisco IOS Software on the Standby Supervisor Engine
This task describes how to use ISSU to load a new version of Cisco IOS software to the standby
supervisor engine.
Prerequisites
•
Ensure that the new version of Cisco IOS software image is already present in the file system of both
the active and standby supervisor engines. Also ensure that appropriate boot parameters (BOOT
string and config-register) are set for the standby supervisor engine.
Note
The switch must boot with the BOOT string setting before the ISSU procedure is attempted.
Note
auto-boot
must be enabled for ISSU to succeed.
•
Optionally, perform additional tests and commands to determine the current state of peers and
interfaces for later comparison.
•
Ensure the system (both active and standby supervisor engines) is in SSO redundancy mode. If the
system is in RPR mode rather than SSO mode, you can still upgrade the system using the ISSU CLI
commands, but the system experiences extended packet loss during the upgrade.
Refer to the
Stateful Switchover
document for more details on how to configure SSO mode on
supervisor engines.
•
For ISSU to function, the image names on the active and standby supervisor engines must match.
Perform this task at the active supervisor engine:
